Question 2901 Deck General

The correct answer is A) tare weight. The tare weight refers to the weight of the empty cargo box or container, without any cargo inside. This is an important piece of information on the cargo manifest, as it allows the total weight of the cargo to be calculated by subtracting the tare weight from the gross weight (the total weight of the cargo box and its contents). The other options are incorrect because: B) gross weight is the total weight of the cargo box and its contents, C) cargo weight refers to the weight of the cargo itself, and D) net weight is the weight of the cargo after subtracting the tare weight.
